As the Media Relations Manager at the UW Carbone Cancer Center, Susan spoke knowledgeably about cancer research and cancer stories. She’s spent years as a reporter for Madison Newspapers, and it showed in her ability to engage us in the subject. UWCCC is one of only five Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the country. Paul Carbone, the founder, was famous for his work on breast cancer. His impact in the war on cancer is global. The center also studies extreme survivors – cancer patients who have long beat the odds on survival, sometimes for decades. Susan also made a strong case for the importance of animal trials, despite the controversy that sometimes surrounds them. She also spoke of Australia’s success in virtually eliminating the HPV virus. We learned about the CCC’s Precision Medicine Molecular Tumor Board, which brings world-class expertise to the diagnosis and treatment of cancers.
